What is Marriage Convalidation?

Marriage convalidation, also known as a "blessing of a civil marriage" or "ecclesiastical validation," is a religious ceremony performed within the Catholic Church to recognize and validate a marriage that was previously performed civilly or outside the Church.

Why Opt for Marriage Convalidation?

Marriage convalidation holds immense significance for couples who want their marriage to align with their faith. By opting for convalidation, you can:

  • Deepen the spiritual aspect of your marriage
  • Receive the sacramental graces associated with the sacrament of matrimony
  • Formally unite your marriage within the Catholic Church community
  • Participate in the rich traditions and rituals of the Church
  • Set an example for your children and loved ones
  • Build a strong foundation for your family

The Marriage Convalidation Process

At River Oaks Church, we strive to make the marriage convalidation process as smooth and seamless as possible. Here are the general steps involved:

  1. Contact our dedicated staff to express your interest in convalidation and schedule an initial consultation.
  2. Attend the initial consultation with our experienced team of clergy members who will guide you through the requirements and documentation needed.
  3. Complete any necessary paperwork and provide any supporting documents, such as your marriage certificate, baptismal certificates, and proof of previous annulments, if applicable.
  4. Discuss any specific circumstances or concerns you may have with our clergy to ensure a personalized approach to your convalidation process.
  5. Choose a date and time for your convalidation ceremony, keeping in mind the availability of the church and clergy.
  6. Prepare for the ceremony by participating in premarital counseling, if required, to deepen your understanding of the sacrament of matrimony.
  7. Celebrate your convalidation ceremony surrounded by your loved ones and the River Oaks Church community.

Requirements for Marriage Convalidation

While specific requirements may vary based on individual circumstances, here are some common factors to consider when preparing for marriage convalidation:

1. Proof of Civil Marriage

You will need to provide your civil marriage certificate as proof of your legal union.

2. Baptismal Certificates

Both parties will be required to provide their baptismal certificates. If you and your spouse were not baptized within the Catholic Church, additional documentation may be necessary.

3. Prior Annulment(s)

If either party has been previously married and divorced, you will need to provide the necessary documentation of any prior annulments.

4. Preparatory Counseling

Participation in premarital counseling may be required to ensure a thoughtful and informed approach to the sacrament of matrimony.

5. Witnesses

Typically, you will need to have at least two witnesses present during the convalidation ceremony to sign the necessary documents.
